    Hey MeriSu, welcome to our Community! 

     

    It seems that some files/folders are online-only instead of available offline. 

     

    Have you tried changing their status using the steps mentioned here? 

     

    Give it a go, and let me know how it goes!

Hey Megan,

 

Thank you so much. I did what you recommended and it seems to have worked. I have the green check mark now an all my files and folders, and hopefully my Dropbox folder will work normally again.

Thank you so much for your help.
